On May 8th, right as the New Pope was elected, New Zealand alt-pop icon Lorde sent the internet scrambling a she announced her Ultrasound World Tour. Despite the misleading name, Lorde at the moment will only be performing across North America and Europe, with shows set to begin on September 17th in Austin, Texas.
This tour announcement comes just a week after the singer-songwriter announced her fourth album, Virgin. The highly anticipated project will be out on the 27th of June via Universal. Virgin is co-produced by Lorde and Jim-E Stack, with major contributions from Dev Hynes (Blood Orange), Dan Nigro (Known for his recent work with Chappell Roan and Olivia Rodrigo), Fabiana Palladino, Andrew Aged and Buddy Ross. For a taste of the sonic world of Virgin, you can listen to the album's lead single, ‘What Was That’ HERE.
The Ultrasound World Tour marks the first time Lorde has any major stadiums since her Melodrama tour in 2017-2018. She’ll be hitting some of the world's most iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden, The Kia Forum, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and London’s O2 Arena, marking her first time headlining some of these stages. Lorde will have a rotating cast of opening acts, with Blood Orange and The Japanese House and Nilüfer Yana being second on the bill, and Chanel Beads, Empress of, Jime-E Stack, and Oklou finishing off row three.
